Papyrus Project
Papyrus is a research and technology development project co-funded by the European Commission.
Project Description
Papyrus aims at creating a dynamic digital library which understands user queries in the context of a specific discipline, look for content in a domain alien to that discipline and return the results presented in a way useful and comprehensive to the user.
Papyrus intends to showcase this approach with a specific pair of disciplines which can be illustrated as an apparent need and may prove to be an immediate exploitation opportunity on its own: the recovery of history from news digital content.
To address the involved technical challenges Papyrus has planned an agenda of research in the following scientific & technological areas:
- Query Processing – Understanding User Demands
- Semantic analysis – Understanding the Source Content
- Knowledge Mapping – Corresponding Concepts between Sources and Users
- Presentation Techniques – Delivering Results in a Comprehensive Manner
